Application filed August 231, 1925.

To all whom t may @011.06m

Be it known that. I, Fnnnnnroi; Pannen, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at a and 5, Bridgewater Square, London,

5 England, have invented new and useful lmprovements in Means i'or ilrvaving Hair, of which the following is a specification.

It has before been proposed to wave hair 'by means of two combs frictionally held together by interlocking prongs and sockets.

This invention relates to improved means for holding together the combs.

According to this invention the two combs are provided with positive interconnecting means.

One of the combs may be provided with two or more :tasteiiing members adapted to engage corresponding projections or studs on the other comb.

The vfastening members may be i'o'rmed of spring or any other suitable material and may be of the type ordinarily used to secure the hair in hair slides, or they may consist ot' rubber bands or one comb may be prof vided with arms, either pivoted or liXed, having holes which engage pins on the other comb, which pins may be on the end pieces or sides of the comb.

To wave hair, the combs are inserted in the hair whilst it is damp, one up and one down, and connected to one another. They are allowed to remain there until the hair is perfectly dry.

The invention is illustrated in the accomflfi panying drawings in which Figures l to 4L show various forms of combs constructed in Serial No. 53,678.

accordance with this invention. Figure 5 a sectional view of Figure l with the combs in position.

ln the drawings a and are two combs.

Referring to Figure l the comb o is provided with spiing clips c hinged at cl to the comb a and adapted to engage studs e on the comb when in position.

ln Figure 2 the comb L has holes through which pass rubber bands g that are. used in place of the clips shown in Figure l. When the combs are in position the rubber bands g are passed over studs h on the comb Z). I

ln Figure 3 the comb a has arms y' pivoted at 7c. The other ends of the arms y' are'provided wtih holes Z which enga-ge spring studs m on the comb b.

In Figure 4 the outer teeth of the comb a have holes n that engage studs 0 on the outer 3' teeth of the comb Z).

Figure 5 shows the combs a and b as in Figure l. in position on the hair.

A comb comprising two bodily separable toothed members oi' substantially the same size and shape with the teeth of one member interloclred with the teeth oi? the companion member, one of said members carrying hinged fastening devices at its opposite end portions and the other member carrying` studs with which said 'fastening devices en! gage.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention l have signed my name this 17 th day of August, 1925.
